~ Gabriella's POV ~
"You're being ridiculous Gabriella."
"I don't think I am."
"You are."
"No, not really."
"Yes."
"No."
"Absolutely-"
"-not."
Matteo narrowed his eyes at me when I finished his sentence while I just stood across the kitchen island from him, refusing to break eye contact.
There was no way in hell I was backing down.
"This is screwed up."
"No, what's screwed up is the fact that you can't just listen. It's simple." Matteo shook his head at me, putting his mug of coffee down on the counter which was between us.
"Well you didn't ask me first and its my damn house."
"Well I had no choice! My mom is allergic to cats, she just got the all clear from her cancer I'm not about to put her through this."
"So I have to look after it? A damn cat I don't even want? Why didn't you think of your mom before you bought it?" Ignoring his comment about my mom I nodded my head before I finally moved from my spot, going to the other side of the kitchen where Mr Skittles was chilling, watching the two of us argue.
Picking the baby kitten up I held him in my arms as I walked over to Matteo. "Look how cute he is, how was I supposed to say no? There was nothing I could do."
"Maybe you could have just walked the hell out of the pet shop? Why would you even go in there in the first place?" I rolled my eyes at him as he leaned against the counter, resting his elbows on it as he watched me hold our new kitten.
"I saw him through the window, okay? I've always wanted a cat, so I bought it before-"
"Before common sense could catch up with you?"
"Exactly." I nodded my head causing Matteo to laugh even though he really was pissed off. I suppose he did have a point, but I had no where else to take Mr Skittles. I had to give up the lease on my apartment (I cried for three days when that happened) because I couldn't afford to keep paying rent for it and not actually live there. So now I'm permanently living at home again but my mom can't have cats in the house.
So Matteo was my answer.
"Gabriella I don't even know how to look after a cat."
